Hey Dave, you brought up a couple I was thinking of pointing out.

The main one related to this site was the Beverly Hillbillies. Miss Jane Hathaway had a very nice red '64 Polara 500 convertable the first year, than the '65 version red Coronet 500 convertable for a few years after that.

Two Lane Blacktop is one my favorite car movies. It starts out with the street race scene. The first pair off is Big Willie's red Dodge Charger Daytona racing a green Malibu, although Big Willie is not driving, he is the starter guy with the flashlight. The '55 is up next racing a 'Cuda with a "Hemi and a Torqueflite". But not many Mopars after that. In a later scene a traveling salesman in "one of those Dodge Chargers..." is trying to pass the '55, but the driver says "Not Today"

Yup - Big Jim Dunn. I think one of his cars was called Fireman Quickie. He had one of the only successful rear engine funny cars back then. He still owns a funny car team (he's in his 80s now). His son Mike drove fuel dragsters and funny cars, too. He's currently the analyst for the ESPN NHRA broadcasts.

Two Lane Blacktop is a good flick - even though it mostly features a '55 Chevy and a GTO (I think that Chevy was cool, though). There are some Mopars in the beginning when they're street racing for cash. I think one of Big Willie's Daytonas is in it briefly, too.

How about TV? Adam-12, Mannix, Mod Squad, Brady Bunch, Beverly Hillbillies. Julie was driving a '70 GTX on the Mod Squad in one episode. Miss Jane had some nice Mopar convertables - I know one was a red '65 Coronet.

vanishing point (challenger), dirty mary crazy larry (charger)
unlawful entry ( charger), love and a .45 ( roadrunner) Taillights
fade (duster) The highwaymen (barracuda) Bullet(charger), BTW if u
guys want to see a BAD car movie with lots of cool vintage race
footage, I saw one the other night called Burnout. It was pretty bad
but the 90 minutes of vintage drag footage from the early 70s was
well worth it. Lots of cameos by figures from the day, like Tony
Nancy, Art Arfons, and more.Also another vintage footage movie well
worth it is "Funny car summer", which is a documentary following
around that guy from the early 70s with the sidewinder Barracuda funny
car. Cant remember his name right now, his nickname was the Fireman. I
think his named might have been Dunn. Dunn and Reath??? Does that
sound right?
